It was the first response I got! Originally Posted by CrashTestDummy "If a terrorist organisation wanted to knock out the moral compass of Britain, all they'd have to do is to kill 100 celebrities at random. The entire country would have an instant nervous breakdown."

Students these days have very poor powers of objectivity, even where their reasoning faculties are good. It's a depressingly obvious trend, but hardly unexpected. They're drawn from the wider society that seems to put a premium on emoting over thinking.

In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

It is a deliberate ploy by the Blairites and Polly Toynbee intelligensia to instill in the minds of the 'liberal' masses that immigration and racism are actually one and the same subject and he who objects to the former must necessarily be an evil doer intent upon the latter.

Indeed. It extends to the best ones, too. Originally Posted by Pyianno

For my subject, I can say with a very high degree of confidence that it is the best University in the country. Originally Posted by smartascarrots Indeed. It extends to the best ones, too.
However, outside of my subject, I haven't a clue."If a terrorist organisation wanted to knock out the moral compass of Britain, all they'd have to do is to kill 100 celebrities at random. The entire country would have an instant nervous breakdown."

9 Pages all ready.
I have said before on arrse that Labour lost the working class when low level jobs where exported and decided to bring in their own new 'Poor and Desperate' from anywhere.
I don't think Dave is up to the job of sorting out this problem.

Bollocks! about Poles "stealing our jobs" and under cutting us. Some (a significant number) of the English people working at my place, if you'd have described them to me 5 years ago - I would have never believed they existed outside of care in the community projects. They cannot work unsupervised, they have a "death in the family" / bird flu everytime their team is playing and they've been rostered, their kids will have to be taken to hospital on the day they've tried to book as leave but were declined, they'll "go sick" at a later date if they've worked a bank holiday and got double time - because they're on tax credits, they'll phone from their own landline claiming they're stuck in traffic and will be late, they'll say they can't do their shift as their car is tits up and can't travel and when offered a lift say they have to look after their sick wife/budgie. The list goes on and thats the fuckers who are in a job!!! The majority demand much more than their capabilities justify and they think 2 minutes on google gives them enough info to complain when they are gripped.
We have a few Poles doing the same job. None of the above shit from them. They are the ones we rely on to cover for the mongs who pull the above tricks.
Edit - my missus works at DWP. The biggest drain on our economy benefits-wise is our own homegrown chavs, many of which know the system better than those who implement it.
